the-county of Albany, and in the State of NewYork, V

have invented a new and useful Improvement in Illuminating-Stoves; and l do hereby declare that the following is a full, v :lear,`,'and,exact description thereof, reference. being had to theannexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which-v Figure 1 represents a perspective view of stove embodying lmy improvements.

Figure 7, plan of feeders and illuminators. Figure 8, sectional view of feeders; In all, thesame letters refer to the same parts. Y My invention relates .to a parlor-stove, which serves a double purpose, namely, of heating and illuminating.

My improvements consist in Athe construction, combination, and arrangement of sundry parts belonging to and constituting the stove, as will more fully ap- 'pear from the'following description and claims.

A -"lo enable those skilledin the art to make and use my invention,.1 will now proceed to describe its construction and operation.

The outerfcasingof the stove,'marked O in the drawings, `may be made of a semicircular form, the straight front-side of which is permanently closed by a suitable plate down tothedoor y.

The semicircular casing is considerably enlargedaround the coal or `fuel-chamber., so as to form abench, N, on the outside around and above such coal-chamber.

This bench is provided with a number of apertures, around which annular ilanges'or collars, F, are formed, and through which thefuel is fed into the fuel-chamber.

The lower front side of thel stove is closed by the door y, on which a chute or hopper,I, is formed, communicating with the fuelchamber, so that-fuel can he introduced into the stove from all sides.

i B is theAre-pot or fuel-chamber, which rests upon the'iianges forming the ash-pit. Itlis made sloping outwardly from its basis to its upper end, which is so constructed as to'it snugly in the casing.'

The fire-pot is set lc'osely iu the stove th'rough the door y, throughavhiclrfit can be withdrawn when it becomes worn .or burned out, and a new one inserted without disturbing any other part of the stovl A The fuel is received 'from the feeders upon the flaring flange of the iireTpot, from which it slides toward the centre of the same;4 the burning of the fuel'being from the centre of thefire-pot to its circumference.

r G'repres'ent movable fuel-feeders, offwhieh vthere are to be as many as there are apertures in the bench N.

These feeders are cylinders, madelof sheet-inetal'dr othersuitablc material, fitting snugly over the collars F. Their vupper ends 'are closed by caps, as shown, and they are to be provided with handles, by which to `(larry them N of the stove. They may be made so that-the lower end of one fits over or in the upper'end of another.

This arrangement of portable fuel-feeders in connection with a stove will be appreciated by liousekeepers.

on account of its cleanliness, By thus employing ,several feeders, with valves to regulate the discharge of their contents, as many different kinds of fuel lmay be used, such as hard coal,

sottl coal, concreted combustibles, Src., and these va-y rious kinds of fuel can be fed intol the' stove in such' relative proportions as tp prod uoe the best results..

O is a hot-air' chamber around the ash-pit and 'the fire-pot, communicating with the external atmosphere.

bytheholes w win the base-plate ofthe stove, under which the pan :c is suspended.

D is thev combustion-chamber, the wall of which,

formed by the outer casing ofthe stove, 1sprovided with several windows, L L, dac., alternating with the fuel-feeders. Other windows, K K', 8vo., are arranged in the front plate of the stove, as shown in iig. 1. -All these windows are constructed oi' glassLor other transi parent substances. l

'The rear windows may be provided with reflectors, Q, so arranged as to throw the light into the room. 4 These windows are arranged at various points in the stove for the purpose of illuminating the room and in order to obtain a brilliant light in the stove, at the same .time aiding in the combustion, I introduce several pipes, g h, into the stove, at various'points, through which hydrocarbon-oils, 'or other luminous iniiammable liquids may he supplied to the lire.

-tion is supplied through the pipes Z (l.

E represents a dome or crown-sheet insertedin the stove above the combustion-chamber, reverberating, andth'us intensifying the heat.

A damper, f, is arranged in the top of the dome, which can be opened or partially opened, as may be found necessary.

Above this dome, and in the upper part, or second story of the stove, another fire-pot, B2, is located, surrounded by an outer casing, so as to form an air-space, c, around it, to which air furthe support of combus- 'lhe intention is to burn hydrocarbon-oils, or other inammable liquids in this nre-pot, but solid fuel may be burned therein in combination with liquid.

The liquid fuel is introduced into this lire-pot through the pipe a, provided with suitable valves or cocks, as shown in figs. 2 and 4, or through the pipe P, as shown in iig. 5.

It is the exit-pipe in the upper part of the stove,

through which the gaseous products of combustion escape into the flue.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim, then, as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

1. A portable fuel-feeder for stoves, provided with a valve for regulating the supply of fuel, said val ve to actas a bottom for the feeder when it is removed for filling.

' 2. Astove provided with a series of portable feed- 3. A stove provided with two or more fire-pots or combustion-chambers, one above another, and separated from each other by means of a crown-sheet pr vided'witha damper, substantially as shown and described'.

4. The illumiuators or windows K K2 and L, made of glass, mica, or any transparent translucent substance, and placed at Vintervals iu the back, and sides, and atthe front-of stove, substantially as shown and described.

5. The fire-pot or chamber B, above the crownsheet Efsui'rounded by an air-space'e, to which airis supplied by -nieans of the air-pipe d, substantially as and for the purposes described.

6. The door y, forming the lower front ofthe stove', constructed so as 'to allow of the removal of the firepot or furnace B, substantially as set forth.

7. The removable re-pot or furnace B,substanltially as described.

8. The air-chamber O, and pan 1;,forthe circulation of the air, substantially as and for the purposes de# scribed.

9.`The hydrocarbon-feeder a, for supplying fuel 'to the upper combustionechamberfBZ, substantially as shown and described.
